Happy Friday, all!
We come to the end of Genesis 3, and the end of Paradise on Earth. After pronouncing the consequences for Adam and Eve, God now makes provision for them. Adam and Eve had attempted to cover themselves with fig leaves. Have you ever seen or felt fig leaves? Sure, they're big, so they could definitely work to cover them, but they are sticky and scratchy!!! Anything we try to do in our own strength is just about as ill-fitted to cover over our sins and redeem us in God's eyes. We cannot make God love us more by praying more, worshiping more, reading the Bible more, or by doing good deeds for others. God's love for us is perfect and constant and is not affected by what we do. His love is dependent upon His character, not ours.
As Jon Courson points out in his commentary here, you would expect God to dress them down for their behavior. But, instead, He dresses them up! God provides the blood sacrifice, and dresses Adam in Eve in the skins of the sacrificed animal to replace their silly fig leaves. In grace, God banishes Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden to prevent them from eating of the Tree of Life, which would have caused them to live eternally in their fallen condition. Verse 24 says that God "drove" them out of the garden. You can imagine they did not want to go! I wonder if they begged to stay and promised to be "good" if He'd just let them have another chance... But God knew He had to protect them from themselves, so out they went, and cherubim and a flaming sword were placed to "guard the way back to the tree of life." Now there would be no way back to God unless God provided it. The good news is that He did!
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6) He is the ONLY way back to the Father. Peter told the Sanhedrin in Acts 4:4, "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved." Jesus also told us that the way would be narrow and few would find it: Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. (Matt 7:13-14) There aren't "many roads" that lead to Heaven. There ARE many roads offered - and all but one lead to the same place: eternal destruction. The narrow road - that FEW will find - is through Jesus. While the way to the Tree of Life was blocked - the Bread of Life opened that way to the Father back up for us when He died for us.
People accuse Christians of being narrow. Guilty! But we did not make this stuff up! Jesus said it was narrow. We're stuck with what He said - and, Hallelujah, we're blessed by what He provided.
So, what's the lesson? Quit striving! It amazes me how quick I was to receive grace when I was first saved, but then how I keep trying to live by my own strength and abilities!!! How futile! It is just striving! It is time to rest, to be still and know that HE is God, not me. Time to be led by the still waters. Time to give Him my burdens - to cast my cares on Him, because He loves me. (I Peter 5:7)
Thank you, God, for your incredible, unmerited provision of the Way!

Genesis 3:14-20
Good morning, gang!
In today's verses, we get our first view of God as the just Judge. Unfortunately, in order to have justice, there must be a judge and there must be a judgment. The good news is that our Judge is righteous and completely fair. His motivation is ALWAYS love and He disciplines in love for our good. So, with His judgments, there is always hope and grace! His children do not get what they deserve, but unmerited grace.
God turns to the serpent first. You know Satan had to be rubbing his hands together in glee when Eve, then Adam, ate the fruit! "I've got them now!" he must have gloated to himself. So, God turned to him first and pronounced judgment - and gave the first prophetic promise of deliverance:
“Cursed are you above all livestock and all wild animals! You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life. And I will put enmity
between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.” (verses 14-15)
Satan loves to think he's gotten the best of us - but God has the final say and this nasty serpent, who was defeated at the cross, will be finally and completely crushed at the return of Christ (Rev. 12:9, and Rev. 20:10) While we are here on earth, we will have to contend with him in warfare on a daily basis - he is our greatest foe - but Christ has won that battle for us. We belong to Christ - not Satan. Our defensive weapons, which, according to Ephesian 6, we need to put on each day are the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shoes of readiness that come from the gospel of peace, the shield of faith, and the helmet of salvation. The one defensive weapon? The sword of the Spirit, the Word of God. Those will keep us prepared for the daily battle. How grateful I am, though, that the victory is already won in Christ!
God then turns to Eve, to pronounce the consequences to her and all women who come after: pain in childbirth, the desire for our husbands, and his rule over us. Adam's curse? WORK and LOTS of it! And it is true that one of the frustrations of women, early on in a marriage, is that their husbands don't give them enough time - they never listen, etc. - because the husbands are BUSY earning a living for the family! By the "sweat of their brows" they provide food for the table and a roof over our heads. Don has faithfully gone to work each day for more than 37 years - and I mean WORK - to take care of our girls and me! It leaves him exhausted, with not a lot left over at the end of the day. And since I've been working, I totally feel the same way when I get home. I get it!!
Wow! This seems like harsh punishment doesn't it? Is it fair that we all (including all of creation) suffer because of one man? Well, we also receive salvation and eternal life through One Man, the Second Adam (see I Cor 15): "The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Rom 6:23) With the judgment, there is the hope and promise of salvation through Christ. Thank you, LORD! We were all under Adam's curse, but when we received Christ, we moved from death to life!
Verse 20 seems random after what had just taken place: "Adam named his wife Eve, because she was the mother of all the living." I was glad I looked this up in Jon Courson's commentary, because he writes that this change of name from "Isha" (from the man), to Eve (giver of life), shows Adam's faith in God's promise that from Eve would come Adam's (and our) Savior. There isn't a word wasted in the Bible!
My "take away" this morning is to not live as though I am under the curse, but rejoicing because I have been delivered from the curse of sin by my Savior. People should see that hope in me today.

Genesis 3:8-13
Good morning, all!
Today we read the verses that show us a typical response to being confronted with our sin: hiding and blaming others! As soon as Adam and Eve realized what they had done, they attempted to cover themselves. When they heard God coming, they hid from Him! As if we can hide from Him! :) When we are not walking with the LORD, or when we have blatantly disobeyed, we may stop going to church or stop hanging out with other Christians, because being around them reminds us of our sin. We stop praying and stop reading His Word, because it convicts us. We become miserable! John tells us in his first letter that if we just confess our sin, He is faithful and just and will will forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness (I John 1:9). It's too easy! We prefer to either punish ourselves (which leads to depression) or, more likely, justify ourselves. This is what Adam and Eve did.
Notice that when they are hiding, God sought them out! We should never forget that God is the initiator of our relationship with Him. In 1 John 4:10, we're told "This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins." Then, in verse 19 John writes, "We love because he first loved us." He started it! Because of His great love, we should freely come to Him, when we've failed, to received the abundant grace He wants to pour out on us. We do not need to make excuses or hide like the little child caught in a lie. John wrote in I John 4:18 "There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in fear." Have you noticed that children who fear berating or harsh punishment tend to lie and cover up, rather than taking responsibility for their sin? If you know that you will receive grace, you are more likely to fess up.
God promises that we can freely come - and here, in Genesis 3:9, He calls out to Adam and Eve, "Where are you?" When He confronts them with their sin (because He will not ignore it - notice He doesn't say, "No big deal, guys!"), Adam immediately blames both Eve and God for his falling: "The woman you put here with me - she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it." When God turns to Eve, she blames the serpent for deceiving her. We will go to great lengths to lay blame on everyone else, won't we???? We can find a million ways to justify our bad temper or our gossip or our drinking or any number of things we know we shouldn't be doing: "I've had a horrible day!"; "If you just wouldn't put your clothes on the floor!" "I need a drink after that meeting!"; etc.
The good news? Romans 5:8 - But God demonstrated his own love for us in this: while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Hallelujah! We do not have to clean up our act before we face God. He foresaw our sin and provided for it. He loves us no matter what. Because His love is constant and unconditional and a sure trait of His character, it does not change depending on our behavior - whether good or bad behavior. We can't make Him love us more or love us less - He loves no matter what! But, because He loves, He requires confession and repentance, and He disciplines us in order to make us more Christ-like. We don't take the penalty for our sin, thanks to Christ, but we do suffer consequences. More about those tomorrow!
Would love to hear your take on this...

Genesis 3:6-7
Good morning, guys!
In yesterday's verses we saw Eve engaging in discussion with Satan, as he put doubts in her mind about God and His Word. So today we see the results:
When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.
This reminded me of ! John 2:16, then I saw that was the exact verse Jon Courson refers to in his commentary. In 1 John 2:16 we read that sin falls into three categories: the lust of the flesh (it tastes good or satisfies physical needs); the lust of the eyes (it's easy to look at); and the pride of life (it'll make you wise or important). These are the exact temptations Eve faced. Notice that it doesn't say she sought the advice of either God or Adam before taking the fruit - she just reacted to the temptation. She didn't hesitate once she had listened to Satan - she took some and ate it! And then, because misery loves company, she gave some to Adam, who immediately ate it himself. Surely Adam bore more responsibility. We are told Eve was deceived, but Adam just took it from her. Courson says that, by joining in with her, he was saying, "I want to be with Eve more than I want to obey God." That makes me immediately stop and ask myself what things or habits do I hold onto because I want them more than I want fellowship with God?? Before I slam Adam and Eve, I have to be real and know that surely I would have done the same thing!!! The temptation to become godlike in knowledge would be awfully strong!!
We immediately see the consequences of their choices: Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.
Rather than seek out God, repent, and confess, they immediately cover themselves up - try to cover over their sin by their own efforts. God would be the one to provide salvation (vs. 21), but they, like we do, tried to do it themselves - in their own power. Boy! This hits close to home for me this week - trying to cover up rather than fessing up! There are so many lessons in this one chapter! Chime in here with what you see!

Genesis 3:1-5
Good morning, gang!
I'm enjoying having a quiet, unrushed Monday morning, with no major agenda for the day! :) I'm excited to study this chapter this week, because it is so pivotal to our understanding of why the world is so out of whack, and how that applies to our Christian walk. It portrays a loving, gracious God, who is longsuffering with rebellious people. We see the ultimate consequences of disobedience, while also learning about His provision for our redemption.
Commentators may disagree about where the problem started with Eve, but we can see immediately the cunning of the serpent (Satan) who sows seeds of doubt about God's Word, when he asks Eve, "Did God really say...?" His number one tool in his arsenal is the manipulation of God's Word. Satan knows God's Word. We know from the temptation of Christ (Matt 4), that Satan can quote it just fine - although he prefers to misquote it. Here he asks Eve, "Did God really say,'You must not eat from any tree in the garden?'" He wants to make God seem like a kill-joy (when we know that Satan is the true joy-robber). God had actually given Adam and Eve free reign to eat of ANY tree, except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Eve makes her first mistake here, by engaging in dialogue with Satan. Don't even go there, folks! He is crafty and has had 1000's of years to study man. He knows our weaknesses only too well! Even Michael the Archangel refused to argue with the devil in his own strength, but rebuked him in the LORD's name (Jude 9). So, don't try to go mano-a-mano with him!
Eve, in her eagerness to put down Satan's argument and "defend" the faith, goes one step farther than God did: "We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, 'You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.' " Here Eve does the thing that we all tend to do, and certainly something organized religion has done for centuries - she ADDED to the Word of God. We might agree that not even touching the tree might prevent temptation (although it had no effect here with Eve, did it?) however, her adding that one simple rule turned to disaster. Jon Courson says in his commentary, "The Word of God is incredibly profound. But it is also amazingly simple." When Eve added that little bit to God's simple command, we see the beginning of legalism! Courson says, "Adding to the Word always leads to bondage, bitterness, and backsliding. Our intent might be to try to prevent ourselves or others from getting too close to forbidden fruit, but in reality, our rules and barriers only burden people and ultimately cause them to forget the whole thing and walk away from God." I would add that the other danger is that people become so proud of their "holiness" in keeping these man-made rituals and regulations, they lose their dependence on grace and think they can do it themselves...
After questioning God's Word, Satan questions God's motivation, suggesting that God only wants them to stay away from that tree, because He knows they would then become godlike themselves - having His knowledge and His immortality. Again, this is the same argument he uses today to keep people from experiencing the fullness of God's love and blessings. He suggests that the fulfillment of human potential is to become God, and He makes God out as the bad guy, someone who wants to restrict your personal freedom and potential. Jesus said, "If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." (John 8:31-32) God offers us the abundant life - a life of fellowship with Him, a life of fulness of joy. Satan wants you to focus on restrictions.
I love the advise Courson offers his own children: "If you think sin is fun, if you want to eat from the tree of forbidden fruit, first look to another tree - the tree of Calvary - and you'll see what sin will ultimately do. It will crucify you. And if you think God is holding something back from you, look at that tree again, and you'll see Him with outstretched arms, nails piercing His palms, proving to you unequivocally that He loves you passionately."
The defense against Satan's wiles? Know God's Word and don't add to it! Trust that His "No" is only because His "Yes" is so much better!
Have a great day!
